shanladams says "great for sensitive skin" about Pampers Sensitive Wipes

shanladams — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 04:17:55 GMT

These wipes are awesome. I don't use any other brand. I have tried store brands because they were cheap and I have tried Huggies sensitive and extra sensitive wipes and none of them work as great as these. My 3 year old had sensitive skin when she was a baby and these were the only wipes that wouldn't make her red. She would actually get blisters from the Huggies wipes!! No matter how gentle we were. They are a little overly wet but I think that is what helps make them so sensitive. I use these on my new 3 month old baby also. They are more expensive then store brands, about on par with Huggies, although Huggies has coupons more than Pampers does, but the savings that I get from not having to buy diaper rash cream and the comfort of knowing that my baby won't get hurt from the wipes makes it worth the extra few cents.

shanladams says "neat gadget but has problems" about Samsung BlackJack Smartphone

My boyfriend and I both got one of these phones. They worked great at the beginning and they are neat phones, but after a couple of months we started having problems with them. He has problems with the keyboard because the buttons are so small. I don't like that we can't see the normal letter/number pattern for certain phone numbers. Like 1-800-and-then. You can't tell which number would be that letter unless you have them memorized from other phones. I like being able to look up my email and use the limited internet capabilities, but I don't like that I have to pay so much for the media plan. The internet works fine but sometimes I can't get it to load the page I want. The mp3 player part of it works great, the camera is great too, although it has a very slow shutter speed so you have to be very very still in order to take a good picture. We have problems a lot with the phone dropping calls and cut us off. Also, if you put it on speaker phone while you are talking on the phone the person......

shanladams says "great for storing breastmilk, but be careful with the lids" about Avent Via 8oz Nurser Set

shanladams — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 03:12:50 GMT

I have used the Avent Via nursers for both of my children. It is a great system. The plastic is durable and safe. The lids are created so that you can stack the cups on top of each other in the fridge or the lids on top of each other when they are in the cabinet to save space. They have 8 oz and 6 oz size. This particular nurser set comes with an adapter to attach to the pump and a nipple assembly set. It is so simple to use. You pump straight into the cup. To store you put the lid on it or to feed to baby you put the adapter and nipple on it. It also comes with a nipple clip so that you can pull the nipple through the lid without getting it dirty. The cups come sterilized already and can be reused 3 times after the initial time. I use this for work and for pumping when we are going somewhere. Right in the car. The one bad thing you have to be careful with is that if you do not put the lid on the cup perfectly and make sure it is tight, it can come off and the milk will spill. It only......

shanladams says "This product is a lifesaver for the breastfeeding mom!" about Avent Isis Manual Breast Pump

shanladams — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 17:53:39 GMT

I have used this product with both of my children. I have a 3 year old and a 3 month old. This product is practical and easy to use. I even used it in the car while we were going places. This is a great system when combined with the storage and bottle system. You can even get a conversion piece to pump straight into the playtex disposable nurser system or any other regular sized bottles. I would recommend this pump to anyone that needs one. It is also easy to clean and there are no tubes or anything. Just 3 rubber pieces and one of them isn't even necessary for the pump to work....
